We just moved to Raritan, NJ from Philadelphia. I was looking for a good Italian Bakery as I was born and raised Staten Island and live for all things Italian Pastry and Italian bread- and Staten Island sets a very high bar for great Italian food and pastries. I tried this bakery yesterday and the pastries and service were PHENOMENAL. Then today, I went back for a cappuccino and just one pignoli cookie and met a lovely Italian gentleman who I assume was the owner. I told him how amazing the pastries were from yesterday and he was so kind and warm- even sharing some great Italian restaurants in the area. The cappuccino was amazing, as was the cookie and he even sent me out with a loaf of Italian bread on the house as I was walking out the door! Do yourself a favor and come here for all your pastry, Italian bread and cappuccino needs! Super excited to have found this place and excited to make it our go-to Italian bakery! Phenomenal pastries and service!

I love this place. All the pastries want to go home with me. The owner is very friendly Italian guy. I asked if I should get more pastries... He didn't offer any comments... I stopped my selection after the first full box... They are so so so good. I need to run at least another 20miles after this. The lobster tail totally fill me up!

Quite frankly, if your bakery doesn't have octogenarians sipping miniature cups outside, you ain't in the right part of town, and you know it. This place is world class! I mean while I'm waiting, 4 customers come in pronounce sfogliatella 4 different ways and they don't even blink, like they are machines. I love this place so much.
